E: drive full. Please help?

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a Toshiba laptop, 60GB. My E: drive is showing up as critically full 1.06GB free of 54.4GB.I presume this is backup files. I haven't got a clue how to access these files even if I needed them, or how to clear old ones I don't need.If I go into Computer, and click on drive E it shows 4 randomly named empty folder, one TAG file which I have no idea wht it is (1KB), one VLC video (.bin)1KB and a Quickbooks backup (accounting software) of 5,051KB.

do you have a vista disk? or a restore disk? or did you get instructions with the laptop to produce your own restore disk and if so did you make one? The chances are that the E: drive contains a restore pc folder. If you have the manual what does it say about the E: drive? If you have none of the above give the exact model no. so we can check it out.

That all adds up to Approx 110Gb - which could be correct for drive C: if your hard drive is bigger than you thought!

I would have thought that if you have say, a 120Gb drive in the Laptop, the main part of that would be your C: drive (probably about 100Gb) with a Backup Partition (about 20Gb) your E: Drive. I am only guessing on these figures, but you should know your own actual figures.

It looks to me as if you have been putting stuff onto your Backup Drive E:, which is normally left purely for backup purposes. C: Drive is usually the main drive containing the Operating System and all your programs etc.

Can you please confirm your actual sizes - then we can give advice on perhaps clearing some of the 'junk' on your drives to create more space.
